Awka—OHANAEZE Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, said yesterday, that it had no regrets not supporting the ambition of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, who won the March 28, 2015 presidential poll.
Ohanaeze also flayed the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, over the death threat he allegedly issued to Igbo people residing in Lagos before the governorship election.

Speaking in an interview in Awka, the national treasurer of the group, Chief Damian Ogene, said the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation supported President Goodluck Jonathan because of what he described as Buhari’s negative antecedents to Ndigbo.

According to him, the rejection of Buhari during the presidential poll is to remind him of the injustices perpetrated against Igbo during his earlier tenure as military Head of State.

He, however, said that since God had given Buhari an opportunity to be a democratic President of Nigeria, he should strive to right his earlier wrongs.
Ogene said: “We are ready to co-operate with him and to believe in his administration in the hope that he will, this time, address the injustices meted out to us since after the Nigerian civil war.”

He also advised the President-elect to deal only with the core people in Igbo land, rather than with the money-bags that were out of touch with Igbo nation and the masses.

“These billionaires have been using their oil money to block government from reaching the people at the grassroots level.

“He should liaise with people-oriented organisations like Anambra Association of Town Unions, ASATU, rather than with intermediaries,” he said.

He suggested to General Buhari to ensure that Igbo people, who were displaced in the northern part of the country due to the Boko Haram insurgency, received compensation as their northern counterparts, in the spirit of equity and justice.

I don't regret that either...

Ohaneze should quit embarrassing themselves. They are a bunch of clowns. Did Jonathan right the wrongs against ndigbo by his Ijaw brothers? Where is compensation for abandoned properties in port Harcourt?

Fool!!!!

How many of your father and grandfather were displaced by Boko haram? Can you point to any? FOOL! Senseless fools like you, is the main reason for Igbo moving to APC enmass after Buhari win. We have realized that our worst enemy is the Ijaw man.

WE DON'T CARE!!!!

These groups - Ohanaeze, Arewa, Afenifere. . ALL of them have proved to be useless to Nigeria so far!

What exactly do they do? Just meet, release statements and fight for THEIR pockets!! Why should a group somewhere tell me who to vote for? Why should a SS person really vote for GEJ who admitted to not doing anything for the region?

I think all these groups should be scrapped or completely ignored. They are proving to be as useless as the "p" in "psyche"!!

We know those who are displaced by Boko Haram, we hear their cries everyday.
Why is it that it is foolish and wretched people like you who cannot point to even half plot of land owned by their fore fathers in PH that are always shouting about abandoned properties? I haven't seen a single one of them that can point to any property belonging to them that was seized.
You are speaking for yourself and poor family not Igbos.

Why is it that it is poor foolish people like you who does not have any landed property that trivializes the siezed Igbo properties now worth billions of naira under an Ijaw governor Alfred Dieete Spiff? Jonathan who didn't lift a finger to right these grievous wrongs against ndigbo by his people the Ijaws inspite of their support is the one to be blamed by ohaneze,instead of Buhari that is yet to take oath of office.

How come Ohanaeze was among the first group, if not the first, to send a congratulatory message to Buhari?
